Great video on our EDT, thank you!
This product is always up on or near the top of every article/video I read. Thanks!
Thank you so much. Great video. So refreshing to see someone else in Alaska reviewing items. It’s so hard on the forums to get straight answers about operating temps and such. Just yesterday it was -30. Thank you again.
I agree, sometimes it feels like we are in our own little world up here lol
Thanks for your educated opioid.
I have settled on EDT for my truck after watching Project Farms independent testing of diesel additives.
There is a station that I can get 50 cetane at. My ‘03 Duramax really likes it compared to 40. More power, better milage and runs quieter down the highway.
Great video!
Great stuff 👍@
I just started using this and it's great also The Amsoil all in one diesel treatment is also a great one to use.
what about the Amsoil injector clean? the yellow one
@@ayokonaaa I have never tried it
@@ayokonaaa i use the amsoil cetane boost+injector clean , it's the green bottle works great best value if you don't need the antifreeze
Thank you! ☺
I REALLY appreciate your knowledge and as you live in Alaska; I will listen to you! ☺ Will you be treating the underneath of your truck with Wax Oil?
Great information. Much appreciated. One question: I have a diesel sub-compact tractor that I use year round. I've been considering using Hot Shot's 'Diesel Winter Anti-Gel' during the coldest months, and 'Everyday Diesel Treatment' the rest of the year. Do you have any thoughts or advice in that regard? Thanks.
That lubricity is all the more important on that Ford Super Duty behind you which uses the Bosch CP.4 HPFP. WIth the change to ULSD in 2007, lubricity was reduced in diesel fuel so that it doesn't meet the wear scar ratings Bosch intended for the CP.4, which otherwise isn't an issue in Europe because they take diesel more seriously and mandate a better overall quality of diesel fuel. However, in the US, you have to restore that lost lubricity and an additive like HSS EDT is an excellent way to do that. I've used Stanadyne and Optilube products and they were great, but what I like best about HSS EDT is that a little goes a long ways.
While not a fan of biodiesel, B5 can go a long way of restoring that lost lubricity, as well, but that wouldn't be the preferred way to restore your lubricity. Also having a cetane boost means a more efficient combustion resulting in less soot deposit in your EGR and DPF. This translates into less frequent DPF regenerations and that means a longer life out of your SCR system. HSS EDT also helps clean and protect your expensive diesel injectors, prevents corrosion in your fuel system which can destroy your engine, and demuslifies water that may be in your diesel so that it goes into your water separator/filter rather than your engine. HSS EDT also helps stabilize your diesel for longer periods of time which can be crucial if you are forced to run any level of biodiesel because biodiesel is hydroscopic and tends to absorb more water than petroleum diesel.
Saw your video on hot shot secret I to use it ,I live in ohio where hot shot is made, thanks for the video
What do you think of hows? I'm currently using that. Im in MN. Iv just watched a video on lubricity testing and it seemed to do worse than no additive at all!!
Thanks fir the content. Whats the name of the intro song?
Every when should I use
Hi there great channel just had a quick question seems like I’ve seen hotshot secret with the anti-gel feature can’t seem to find it locally though I live in Bismarck North Dakota also what do you use for DEF fluid
Yes, Hot Shot’s Secret Diesel Winter Anti-Gel can be ordered right from their website if you can’t find it locally. They are good about quick turnaround and ship quickly. As far as DEF fluid goes, I do not put anything in it as it’s not recommended. DEF fluid freezes at 12 degrees and thaws quickly when the temperature rises above that either with normal outside temperatures increasing or your vehicle heating it up. Freezing and thawing typically has no effect on the quality of the fluid. Most people don’t think about DEF freezing and sometimes keep their DEF tank full and DEF fluid expands approximately 7% so it can damage the DEF tank if it freezes and it’s completely full. I never keep mine full in the winter to allow room for expansion just in case.
All the walmarts I've been too have it
Do you still have your powerstroke?
Any issues?
I just subscribed, I’ve been doing research on my truck I just bought over the weekend. 2022 F350 crew cab long box 6.7 powerstroke
Yes, I still have my truck. No issues at all so far. I drove it down from Alaska to IL after relocating to the Midwest after losing my son. I am averaging about 19 mpg down here. I wish the best with your new truck. If you have questions going forward just shoot me a message.
@@LivinginAlaska thanks for the response, I’m sorry to hear about your son. I lost my twin brother and it broke apart my family and unfortunately it’s been years since anyone has talked or even visited one another. My wife and our kids moved to the sierras (Nevada side) we are loving it and loving the new truck.
Just bought a new gmc baby duramax 3.0l. I want to run an additive and narrowed my research down to using hotshots. Do you think it will help with the whole DEF system? That seems to be the weak spot on all modern diesel’s reliability. Thanks for the video.
Sorry for the late response. The DEF system is a totally isolated system separate from Diesel fuel and never comes into contact with the diesel or the engine and is only sprayed into the exhaust system. They do not recommend ever adding an additive to the DEF tank.
@@LivinginAlaska I guess I should have rephrased. I know it can’t be added to DEF. Hot shots advertises that the additive will help reduce soot and the amount of regens. I was just curious if long term it helps overall with these modern diesels. Reduces soot etc which can cause emissions issues down the road.
Ah, that’s a great question. Let me check with their experts and will let you know.
@@LivinginAlaska thank you! Thanks for the great videos. Enjoying our diesel Yukon!
If you give me an email, I will forward you the white paper they sent me about your question on the regens.
Will that work when you are in limp mode and dpf filter is clogged
I don’t think so, at that point you would need to have service completed to correct the problem. I think it would help to prevent the issue to begin with since they have done research that indicates it does help reduce regeneration frequency.
@@LivinginAlaska ok thanks
Do you run 1oz or 2oz for 25 gallons?
I run 1oz of the EDT per 25 gallons.
What happens if you accidently do like 5oz per 36gal?
@@omarlopez5623 I think it wouldn’t make any difference from the normal dose.
@@omarlopez5623 Should be fine. Your truck will probably run even better lol
Does it clean def injector
No, the DEF injector is in an isolated system which only ever comes in contact with DEF fluid. No additives should ever be added to your DEF tank. DEF fluid is sprayed into your exhaust which lowers the nitrogen oxide emissions in diesel engines. DEF is never mixed with diesel and never injected into the engine.
@@LivinginAlaska ok thanks
I’m not suggesting their products don’t work but to me it seems crazy that such a small amount of product treats that much fuel.
It doesn’t take much. Just like the additives that make gasoline top tier when you look at the amount that is added to a tank it’s very minimal when you start breaking it down by the gallon. Same with anti-gel added at the station upon receiving of a load of diesel.
This is how they also raise locate levels for more expensive fuel. It's just a bit to treat a lot a bit. High octane fluids go a long way.
Diegaspumper8501 have you ever taken a pill? Same concept ...
Does anyone buy the gallon jug and fill the 16oz container with it?
Not sure, I can certainly ask Hot Shots. I haven’t tried it but doesn’t mean people don’t do it.
I just researched a bit and some suggested purchasing bottles with two caps, such as STA-BIL bottles
@MVHS937 I think that would work and be cheaper in the long run.
What can happen if the whole bottle was used?
I sent your question over to Hot Shot and this is their response: “Over treating, while not recommended will not result in any harm to the vehicle. We have tested our formula at 4X the recommended treat rate. Overtreating results in diminishing returns. The current performance dose for EDT provides the most economical, and highest performance to cost ratio”
Great post and hotshot is amazing! 40 second's In gets to the meat and potatoes.intro is really long
Power Service is one of the Worse.
